I haven't been active on Mastodon this year, as far as posting goes. I do check in often to see what's going on though. I'm going to change that. Going forward I'm going to try to be more active on the Fediverse.
On a different note, how may of you have created you own website and how? After many false starts and DNFs, I have finally created my own website. It's been online for a couple of weeks now. It hosts my projects and my blog I have started. https://MickGeekLabs.org
